Answer:

2x-y+2= 0

Explanation:

(-5,-2)=(x1, y1)

(3, 14) =(x2, y2)

now,

slope(m)= y2-y1 / x2-x1

=14+2 / 3+5

= 16 /8

=2 units

passing point = (-5,-2) = x1,y1

now,

eqn of the line can be represented as,

y -y1 = m (x-x1)

y +2 = 2 (x +5)

y+2 = 2x +10

y = 2x+10-8

0 = 2x+2-y

2x-y+2 =0 is the required eqn
